Excerpt from The Great Schism of the West The day will soon dawn when full knowledge will enable a just and final judgment to be pronounced on questions hitherto obscure. In the course of our long and sometimes painful labours we have tried to observe the Ciceronian rule repeated twenty years ago by Leo XIII.: Quis nescit primam esse historiae legem ne quid falsi dicere audeat? deinde ne quid veri non audeat? First, let the historian say nothing false: next, let him conceal nothing true. Every conscience is bound by the first rule; but the sincerity of the historian is sometimes subjected to an almost intolerable strain by the second. Is not the telling of certain special trials which touch our dear mother the Church almost like exposing family failings to the gaze of the public? Yet it must be done if conscience and historic truth are to be duly respected. If some Christians have been so ill-advised as to imagine religious truth would gain from the concealment of historic truth, if this is still a stumbling-block to some Catholics, let them bear in mind the words of the Gospel: "O men of little faith, wherefore do ye doubt?" In the seventeenth century the learned Labbe, in his first volume of the Councils, remarks at the outset: "Non tali auxilio nec defensoribus istis indiget Ecclesia."

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Schism Between the Oriental and Western Churches: With Special Reference to the Addition of the Filioque to the Creed But if the study of the Acts and Canons of the (ecumenical Synods were more general among Churchmen, especially those preparing for Orders, not only should we maintain a truer grasp of what the Primitive Church really held as to Doctrine and Discipline, but it would surely be impossible that we, who profess so great a regard for Primitive Antiquity, could acquiesce with indifference in lying under the Anathemas of Ephesus and Chal cedon - a position into which we drifted long ago through our medieval connection with the Church of Rome. The subject, it will be seen, might easily have been expanded into a large volume; but it has been my aim to keep it in as concise a form as possible, consistently with such a degree of completeness as might suffice to bring it fairly before the reader. Such as it is, I send forth my little book, not without anxiety, but in the hope that, under the blessing of God, it may do some good. Let us beseech Him - I reproduce here Dr. Pusey's earnest words to heal our breaches, and to turn men's hearts to one another that so, loving Him Who is love, we may in Him love one another, and together seeking Him Who is the Truth, we may in Him together acknowledge His Truth.

The division of the Church or Schism that took place between 1378 and 1417 had no precedent in Christianity. No conclave since the twelfth century had acted as had those in April and September 1378, electing two concurrent popes. This crisis was neither an issue of the authority claimed by the pope and the Holy Roman Emperor nor an issue of authority and liturgy. The Great Western Schism was unique because it forced upon Christianity a rethinking of the traditional medieval mental frame. It raised question of personality, authority, human fallibility, ecclesiastical jurisdiction and taxation, and in the end responsibility in holding power and authority. This collection presents the broadest range of experiences, center and periphery, clerical and lay, male and female, Christian and Muslim. Theology, including exegesis of Scripture, diplomacy, French literature, reform, art, and finance all receive attention.
